And on the 5th day of the New Year, the FGC Gods said "Let there be HYPE!"

Mark the day down now, dear Midwestern members of the FGC. The countdown to #MADNESS has begun! We will be changing and updating this post with details as we get closer, but for now, all you need to know is that the day is January 5th, 2013, and the place is Danno's American Pub in Marlborough, Missouri in mid-county Saint Louis.

We have all sorts of surprises planned, including a very special guest for our partner stream! If you are an out-of-towner, feel free to leave any questions about getting to Danno's or lodging or whatever's on your mind. The next four months will be gone before you know it, so be sure to RSVP as soon as you are able!

Yuletide greetings to one and all! We hope you had a very merry Christmas with your friends and family, and, in the event a little cash was stuffed in your stocking, you'll want to get over to www.massappealmadness.webs.com quick because you only have until TOMORROW to take advantage of our online venue fee savings! We will shut down pre-reg as of 5:00 pm CST, so make sure that you get locked in now! January 5th is only NINE days away!!!
